Floor isn't getting 2% of my winnings... and you have me way undertipping the dealer based on what I think they should make.

25 hands/hour X 8 hours X 260 work days = $52,000

30 hands/hour X 8 hours X 260 work days = $62,400

Average median household income, Nevada, 2001-2003: $46,118

CONCLUSIONS: (1) Dealers deserve $1/pot; (2) dealers have the ability, by dealing faster and keeping the action moving, to substantially increase their wages.

Based on this I shouldn't tip at all. Dealers get paid, they do not make all their money on tips. No one who does a completely mindless job should be making 52 grand ON TOP of their salary. Dealers give almost nothing back to society - really anyone can be trained in like 3 hours to do that job. And it's also one of the easiest f&cking jobs on earth. I now feel better about being miserly with my tipping when it comes to dealers...

Good dont tip you piece of trash. NOBODY gives a [censored] if you are going to tip or not.

While you are at it, stiff the cocktail waitress, stiff the valet (like you would valet), stiff the servers at the buffet (because they didn't bring you any food, just drinks) because everyone in life owes you everything for free.

Dumbasses like you are simply bitter that you make 8 bucks an hour at the local Wal-mart. Guess what, its not a dealers fault you have no education or skills.

Clueless. I'll give you 3 months, 8 hours a day, and you couldn't pass an audition.

I concur 100%

Your a clueless idiot.

It's not easy dealing poker. I have the option to deal poker every day if I want (im a dual-pit supervisor), and I'd rather claw my eyes out than deal poker.

Having said that, when I did/do deal poker I do it very well and professional. But it is by far the least favorite game in a casino to deal.

And.. about your post on prompt service. I can deal faster than 95% of poker dealers, but if I'm getting stiffed then my efforts drop to below avg dealing. I wouldn't bust my balls for people who don't appreciate it.

I thought dealers didn't deal for their whole 8 hour shift. Maybe i'm wrong?
